One 77-year-old’s search for the truth: 9/11, election fraud, illegal wars, Wall Street criminality, a stolen nuke, the neocon wars, control of the U.S. government by global corporations, the unjustified assault on Social Security, media complicity, and the "Great Recession" about to become the second Great Depression. "The most important truths are hidden from us by the powerful few who strive to steal the American dream by keeping We the People in the dark."

The “war on terror” has simultaneously been a war on truth. For
fifteen years—from 9/11 to Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass
destruction” and “al Qaeda connections,” “Iranian nukes,” “Assad’s use
of chemical weapons,” endless lies about Gadaffi, “Russian invasion of
Ukraine”—the governments of the so-called Western democracies have found
it essential to align themselves firmly with lies in order to pursue
their agendas. Now these Western governments are attempting to
discredit the truthtellers who challenge their lies.

As George Orwell predicted, telling the truth is now regarded by
Western “democratic” governments as a hostile act. A brand new website,
propornot.com, has just made its appearance condemning a list of 200
Internet websites that provide news and views at variance with the
presstitute media that serves the governments’ agendas.

What we see here is the West adopting Zionist Israel’s way of dealing
with critics. Anyone who objects to Israel’s cruel and inhuman
treatment of Palestinians is demonized as “anti-semitic.” In the West
those who disagree with the murderous and reckless policies of public
officials are demonized as “Russian agents.” The president-elect of the
United States himself has been designated a “Russian agent.”

This scheme to redefine truthtellers as propagandists has backfired.
The effort to discredit truthtellers has instead produced a catalogue
of websites where reliable information can be found, and readers are
flocking to the sites on the list. Moreover, the effort to discredit
truthtellers shows that Western governments and their presstitutes are
intolerant of truth and diverse opinion and are committed to forcing
people to accept self-serving government lies as truth.

Clearly, Western governments and Western media have no respect for truth, so how can the West possibly be democratic?

The presstitute Washington Post played its assigned role in the claim
promoted by Washington that the alternative media consists of Russian
agents. Craig Timberg, who appears devoid of integrity or intelligence,
and perhaps both, is the WaPo stooge who reported the fake news that
“two teams of independent researchers”—none of whom are identified—found
that the Russians exploited my gullibility, that of CounterPunch,
Professor Michel Chossudosky of Global Researh, Ron Paul, Lew Rockwell,
Justin Raimondo and that of 194 other websites to help “an insurgent
candidate” (Trump) “claim the White House.”Note the term applied to Trump—“insurgent candidate.” That tells you all you need to know. You can read here what passes as “reliable reporting” in the presstitute Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/russian-propaganda-effort-helped-spread-fake-news-during-election-experts-say/2016/11/24/793903b6-8a40-4ca9-b712-716af66098fe_story.html

Western governments are running out of excuses. Since the Clinton
regime, the accumulation of war crimes committed by Western governments
exceed those of Nazi Germany. Millions of Muslims have been
slaughtered, dislocated, and dispossessed in seven countries. Not a
single Western war criminal has been held accountable.

The despicable Washington Post is a prime apologist for these war
criminals. The entire Western print and TV media is so heavily
implicated in the worst war crimes in human history that, if justice
ever happens, the presstitutes will stand in the dock with the Clintons,
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, Obama and their neocon operatives or
handlers as the case may be.

A Sucker's Rally Like No Other

By David Stockman. Posted On Friday, November 11th, 2016

This week has seen a political earthquake followed by a
financial eruption. But don't be fooled. The Dow's 500 point surge
amounts to a Sucker's Rally like no other; it was just a case of raging
robo-machines determined to tag an all-time high on the charts

After all, what happened Tuesday night is that for all practical
purposes the US became ungovernable. The ruling establishment pulled out
every stop to smash Trump's insurgent candidacy, and, instead, it ended
up getting unceremoniously and shockingly fired.

Indeed, yesterday's ceremonial make nice session between Donald Trump
and President Obama said everything you need to know. To wit,
the two had never even shaken hands before, meaning that the Imperial
City is literally being sacked by political outsiders, outlaws
and anti-establishment brigands.

In the longer run, of course, that is a very good thing because the
addiction of the Wall Street/Washington establishment to war, debt,
bubble finance and beltway racketeering would have brought
American democracy and capitalism to its knees. This year's political
revolt in Flyover America, in fact, purged the nation's two leading
crime families---the Clintons and the Bush's----from public life once
and for all, and that's an especially good thing.

Yet in the here and now, the great national nightmare has just begun.
That's because the smirking incumbent who greeted the Donald in the
Oval Office neglected to tell him about the giant stink bomb he and the
odious former House Speaker, John Boehner, deposited on the front door
of the US Treasury Department back in October 2015.

In a word,
the March expiration of the nation's $19.6 trillion debt ceiling will
stop Donald Trump's ballyhooed First 100 Days cold in its
tracks. The purported giant fiscal "stimulus" and Trump economic revival
plan that the headline-sniffing algos got giddy on during the last two
days will be DOA.

At some point soon, it will become evident that the parabolic line in
the chart below is what will really dominate, fracture and paralyze the
Imperial City during the Trump presidency. The irony, of course, is
that this $20 trillionfiscal albatross has
been almost entirely accumulated since 1981 when Ronald Reagan was
forced to request an increase in the debt ceiling to $1 trillionfor the first time.

So the ruling establishment that Trump unhorsed at the ballot box is
gone, but not done. The dead-hand of 30 years of feckless fiscal
profligacy will smoother his best intentions and efforts in a veritable
fiscal death trap.

The latter was built brick-by-brick over the decades since 1981 by
the beltway's bipartisan establishment. It amounted to a conspiracy of
convenience under which the debt ceiling was raised episodically as
needed in order to accommodate the cost of multi-trillion wars, giant
un-financed tax cuts, Obamacare and entitlement accretion and the
beltway pork barrel as usual. In all, it was the product of a moveable
feast of political accommodation among the Imperial City's factions and
K-Street racketeers.

But having smashed the bipartisan consensus, Trump will soon find
himself in a political no-man's land. He will find it impossible to
accumulate a Congressional majority to raise the debt ceiling by the
trillions that will be needed to accommodate the soaring built in
deficit from pre-Trump policy and the coming recession.

In fact, the de facto public debt today is $35 trillion. That is,
there is another $10 trillion built-in from current entitlement,
defense, domestic spending and tax policies, according to the CBO, and
that's assuming a Rosy Scenario set of economic assumptions and that the
US will experience 206 straight months through 2026 without a recession

But that's rank idiocy. The average business cycle expansion since
1950 has been 61 months and the longest was 117 months in the
1990's------an unsustainable aberration that ended in the dotcom crash
and ultimately the Great Recession of 2008-2009. Realistic economic
assumptions, therefore, including a good dose of pie-in-the-sky growth
acceleration from anything Trump might manage to enact, adds another $5
trillion of red ink to the projections.

In short, the job of the next one-term President, and the one after
that and the one after that, will be to raise the public debt to $35 trillion or 140% of realistically projected GDPover
the next decade. And that task will shatter whatever capacity for
fiscal governance that may be salvaged from the coming political chaos
in the Imperial City.

Yet we did not even mention Donald Trump's ballyhooed stimulus
program because that would come on top; it would take the national debt
to $40 trillion or even more. That is to say, the "growth" part of the
equation is already built into the current unachievable Rosy Scenario
embedded in the CBO's current 10-year projections.

Trump's fiscal nightmare would therefore require trillions more to
fund his promises to slash taxes by $4 trillion, rebuild defense, pump
more funding into Veterans programs that already cost $150 billion per
year, build the Wall and enforce the borders and launch the biggest
infrastructure program in American history.

Needless to say, its not going to happen. This week's raging
robo-traders will soon see that the letter of the day is not "S" for
stimulus, but a giant "G" for gridlock of an insuperable variety.

Or perhaps an even bigger triple letter called FCA or Fiscal Catastrophe Ahead.

In the days ahead we will be reviewing the facts and figures behind the
dire outlook described above. Meanwhile, here is the summary of what
lies ahead as I explained on Fox Business last evening.
